OverviewJ Sargeant Reynolds Community College
COMMUNITY NEED/MOTIVATING RATIONALE
There is a large and currently unmet need for automotive technicians with the skills necessary to service today’s vehicles.
In Virginia alone, the Virginia Employment Commission has projected 862 openings for automotive technicians per year between 2006 and 2016. (VA Employment Commission, 2008)

COMMUNITY NEED/MOTIVATING RATIONALE
Compounding this shortage is the fact that automotive technology is rapidly changing and many of today’s technicians do not possess the requisite knowledge and/or skills to repair the newer vehicles.
With the introduction of advanced electronics, electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and fuel cell electric vehicles, there is a critical need for education in these new and emergent technologies.

COMMUNITY NEED/MOTIVATING RATIONALE
Today’s automotive service technician must know how to safely diagnose and repair an inverter capable of converting DC voltage to 600V 3 phase AC voltage. Tomorrow’s technician will also be required to diagnose and repair a Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell.
An extensive search of course offerings by community colleges reveals only a few offering technician-level courses in advanced electric drive vehicles.

COMMUNITY NEED/MOTIVATING RATIONALEAutomotive manufacturers are currently the only
organizations providing this advanced technology education to technicians. These manufacturers’ courses are only available to technicians at dealerships that sell their products.
Virtually no education is available for non-manufacturer technicians. Hence, independent facilities, which greatly outnumber dealerships, must frequently tell their customers that they cannot repair their vehicles.

ADVANCED ELECTRIC DRIVE VEHICLEOBJECTIVESAddress the critical need for automotive technical education in
new and emerging propulsion technologies:
Hybrid Electric vehicles (HEV) Electric vehicles (EV) Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCV)
By developing new courses and collating them into anadvanced electric vehicle Career Studies Certificate.

J Sargeant Reynolds Community College
SCOPE OF WORK
Develop and implement courses in the following technical areas:
Principles of operation, diagnosis and repair of HEV, EV, PHEV, and FCV.
Electronic control systems including sensors, controllers and other advance electronic components required for the operation of HEV, EV, PHEV, and FCV.
Industrial safety as it applies to new and emerging technologies.
Deliverable: Development of five advanced electric drive vehicle courses.

TASKS TO BE PERFORMED
Career Studies Certificate Curriculum:
JSRCC’s Advanced Electric Drive Vehicle CSC will include the theory, application, and diagnosis of HEV, EV, PHEV, and FCV.
The CSC will be a sequence of 22 credits of which 19 will be in Advanced Electric Vehicles. The remaining course will be in humanities or the social sciences. The following courses are planned for development:
AUT XXX “Introduction and Safety”, 3 lecture, 3 credits AUT XXX “Electric Vehicles” 3 lecture, 3 lab, 4 credits AUT XXX “Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles” 3 lecture, 3 lab, 4 credits AUT XXX “Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles” 3 lecture, 3 lab, 4 credits AUT XXX “Control Electronics” 3 lecture, 3 lab, 4 credits Humanities/Social Sciences elective 3 lecture, 3 credits

TASKS TO BE PERFORMED
Two courses have been developed during the first year of the grant (2010) :(1) the introduction and safety course and (2) the electric vehicle course.
The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle course will be developed in Year 2 (2011)
The fuel cell electric vehicle and control electronics courses will be developed in Year 3 (2012).
Each of the AUT courses will be developed in the following phases with each phase requiring approximately one semester:
Develop course Develop laboratory exercises Pilot course in traditional classroom format Refine course and convert to a distance education format
